September 12, 2024: JCRC: Confronting Antisemitism: How Can Attorneys Make a Difference?

With the rise of antisemitism in the United States and around the world, lawyers are asked on behalf of agencies, private and public educational institutions, religious institutions, and individuals to respond to antisemitic rhetoric, represent victims of hate and offensive speech, and advise administrations, students, and organizations impacted by the challenging environment of college campuses.

The panel will look at recent news articles and events, and discuss using legal resources and experience. Panelists will discuss the rise of antisemitism, how to determine when anti-Zionism is antisemitism, the potential influence attorneys have on the media, and what techniques are most effective when responding to antisemitism.

Denise Katz-Prober, Director of Legal Initiatives at the Brandeis Center, will be participating as a panelist.

The event will be held on Thursday, September 12, 2024 from 12:00-1:30pm.
